[Lowfer] Vertical antennas and top loading

[Alan Melia]

Hi Jay, strangely enough I was just a day ago standing in fromt of a Nautel
BC transmitter, all solid state 500kW, in use, now not often, at Orfordness
for the BBC World Service, The site was the location of Cobra Mist in the
1970s and some of the remnents are still visible. Because they are closing
we got a chance to walk round the antenna field and peek inside the Antenna
Tuning Huts. (just big ATUs :-))  ) One of the local amateurs is still
employed there (for another couple of weeks) so we got a "special treatment"

Cameras were allowed amd I and the others have a big pile of digital shots.

It would be nice to get one of those masts fired up on 136 !!
